Agreed - I think that the Rapids have between 3,500 - 4,000 season tickets and 1,500 STH so the Union may have 5,000 or so STH for its 12,000 season tickets using the same sort of ticket/STH ratio. Philly would need a very small font and the jersey would be covered in names not like the 3 hoops of the Rapids' names.

I'd be annoyed if the U did this, my brother's name is on the tickets not mine!!!!

Stan Kroenke's tax deduction is succeeding so far. Less than 1500 STH's. Wow. I'd figure they had approximately 3,000. They really screwed up with the location of the Dick. Commerce City is a real pain to get to, especially from a public transportation perspective. They have FC Dallas-ed themselves out of the Denver realm.

Bayern has a separate authentic as well. One of the current versions is even Tech-Fit. Robben tends to wear this one. I saw the full range in Munich last Spring and there were plenty of rather "stocky" Bavarians trolling around in the replicas instead.

Ah, I've only seen replicas for sale, never "authentic" versions. It's also been a few years since I've bought one.

If they weren't going to center the badge I would have at least liked to have seen the alternate crest used. It's not bad, but I'm not as excited as I thought I would be. Maybe it'll look better in person.

I love the fact that they tie the club to the great history of BSFC. Wonder if it was difficult to get the rights to do so. Still, the Jersey represents 100+ years of soccer history in the region. Hopefully casuals will begin to understand the long history of the sport in the US in general and the Philly region specifically. BTW- having tried it on...it is the shizzzle.

I have been trying to do research on this but it maybe true. The logo is Bethlehem steel's logo which they may have augmented with the FC addition. I know from their history they simple used variations of a "B" on their left chest.

I dont like it at all. the big read bimbo logo takes too much away from the tame black and white design. The Bethlehem Steel logo was nice to insert, but i feel as though it is rather small and illogical. I would have much rather seen possibly a big Steele logo on the upperchest area with a white bimbo logo under and no union crest. Well thats what i was hopping for at least

not gonna lie none of the jerseys so far this year have wow'd me at all and fall more towards disappointment.
